👩🍳 Preparation of the chicken drumsticks with olives
1. Prepare the marinade
In a large bowl, combine the grated onion, crushed garlic, olive oil, ginger, turmeric, paprika and black pepper.
Add a small amount of salt taking into account that the preserved lemons and olives are already salted. Also stir in the smen if you want a more traditional and slightly more intense flavor.
2. Marinate the chicken
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and mix thoroughly so that each piece is well coated with the marinade.
Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For an even stronger flavour, you can marinate the chicken for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Saute the chicken
Pour the chicken with all its marinade into a stockpot or large casserole dish.
Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, turning the drumsticks regularly, until they start to take on a nice color.
